I’ve wanted to see these birds for years. While filming in Trinidad for #ExpeditionX, I took my family out by boat to witness one of the Caribbean’s great natural spectacles: scarlet ibis coming in to roost. Every evening, thousands gather in mangroves as the sun sets, turning the mangrove tops red. This seasonal roosting peaks in the dry season (our holiday time!), when food is reliable and nesting pressures are lower. Dreamy Christmas decorations of biology, timing, and copious amounts of red

Ever heard of a bat box!? They’re a simple, cost effective, environmentally friendly way of lowering the mosquito population in your yard and helping native bats. Essentially their design makes them almost irresistible to bats as a daily roosting location, so when the sun starts to go down they’ll emerge right in your yard looking for an easy meal of tiny bugs flying around. If your yard is anything like my yard, a good portion of those flying insects will be mosquitoes 🦟🙅🏻‍♂️ *UPDATE- some c

If you can find this within the first 10 seconds you’re officially invited to join me in the jungle anytime! The world’s most incredible camouflage. Named after a stick, hanging off moss, looking *exactly* like moss, and eating orchids makes this one of the most amazing animals on the planet, period. The moss mimic stick insect of the cloud forests in Monteverde, Costa Rica. | Phil Torres

Ever wonder what it’s like aboard a scientific expedition to a remote island? Thanks to the incredible team of researchers and dive ops for their dedicated work on the Malpelo Monster Shark. Also, thanks to @gatesygram for the “jacuzzi” and to @heatheraamaro for putting up with me out there! | Phil Torres

Hummingbird nest! These are my truest form of an Easter Egg Hunt every spring, as they are so difficult to find. The female covers the outside of the nest with lichen and moss to blend into the surroundings, and the inside has a secret ingredient white fluff to incubate her eggs and babies best. What is it? You may be surprised 🕷️🕸️🐣 | Phil Torres

When a giant raft of snoozing and cuddling sea otters takes you by surprise. While kayaking in Moss Landing, California I had expected to come across small groups of otters hanging out together, but to see a group this big was incredible! I genuinely almost paddled right by them because I assumed a group of brown things bobbing in the water that large must have been logs floating in the water, it wasn’t until I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye that I realized what they were.

Timing the high tide right, knowing that sea turtles come in to feed on the sea grass at that time, gave me the perfect opportunity to put my new lens to the test. Enjoy some sea turtle wonder. | Phil Torres

Went for a trail run this morning in the Appalachians, and just as I stopped to record a beautiful stream a beaver popped out below the bridge! First time seeing one up this close and completely unaware of me, may have to run back out there again tomorrow with my camera to see what I can capture. Worth the 6 miles on the trail 💪🏼 | Phil Torres

Bumblebees are the best bees. Native to our ecosystem (unlike honeybees!), they are generally ground nesting, and great pollinators for both native plants and our fruits and veggies. And this… this is how they mate. This mated queen will then hibernate for the winter, and come out in the spring to find a place to start a new bumblebee colony from scratch. | Phil Torres

Baby skunks snoozing! Only later did I learn that yes indeed a skunk that age can still spray me. Glad they were deep into their siesta. The common name “skunk” is derived from the Algonquin Native American name for the animal which is “seganku” As for their scientific name? I hope next time you see a skunk you call them a Godess of Bad Odor… watch to the end and you’ll know what j mean. | Phil Torres

I’m convinced that life’s greatest treasure hunt is always right outside your door— you never know what little gem of nature you’ll find, and there is always more to learn and study to get to know the signs around you. Whether it’s identifying a nest or learning a bird call, it is so rewarding when your patience and observation pays off. | Phil Torres

When life gives you a tree that falls in your house, you gotta make the most of it. Part 1 of some backyard rustic creations, Part 2 coming soon. Thankfully the damage wasn’t too extensive on the house, but a healthy reminder of nature’s power and the seasonal dangers of living in the woods! Enjoying time at home on my paternity break from filming, so I’m finally able to take on all the backyard forest garden projects I’ve been dreaming up for years. | Phil Torres
